Question

Given $(a-2,b+3)=(6,8)$, are equal ordered pair. Find the value of $a$ and $b$.

• A. $a=8$ and $b=5$
• B. $a=8$ and $b=3$
• C. $a=5$ and $b=5$
• D. $a=8$ and $b=6$

Answer 1

The correct option is A $a=8$ and $b=5$

By equality of ordered pairs, we have
$(a-2,b+3)=(6,8)$
On equating we get
$a-2=6$
$a=8$
$b+3=8$
$b=5$
So, the value of$a=8$ and $b=5.$
